Academic Affairs

The Academic Affairs Committee serves as a liaison between the students and administration to convey opinions and impact change on academic aspects of the University. Our goal is to represent the student’s best interest by influencing the policies and curriculum that shape our education. Current projects include, but are not limited to, establishing specialized advising sessions, modifying freshman orientation modules and Courseweb, and developing a financial literacy program for incoming freshmen at PittStart. If you have any suggestions for new projects, or are interested in joining the committee - please contact the committee chair, Emma Francisco, at efrancisco@pitt.edu (Office Hours: M 3:30-5:30, W 5-8)

The committee meets each Friday 3:30-4:30pm in the William Pitt Union. Anyone is welcome! Email Emma if you are interested.
